I’m happy to be introducing you to a new segment on my blog: Foodie Friends Friday. I have many friends who are always serving up tasty dishes and I’m happy to be introducing them to you! My first guest is my friend Connie. We have known each other since we were in the single digits. We have been through it all together and our friendship grows every year. We even had our first children within months of each other!

Foodie Friends Friday: Connie's Chicken Enchiladas

When asked by Katrina to make a dish for Foodie Friends Friday I was very excited and for a minute stumped.  What would I make?  For the answer I went to my husband. I asked him if there was one recipe I could show on a food blog which one should I choose? He said, “Ooohhh your chicken enchiladas!”  Of course, it’s my go-to meal for so many getogethers- the comfort food for when you just don’t care how many calories are on your plate.  A great accompaniment would be Katrina’s Guacamole. So let’s get started.

The Filling: chicken, sour cream, cheese, onions, pepper and parsley. Use either a rotisserie chicken, leftover baked or fried chicken, or about 3 breasts (1 lbs to 1 ½ lbs).  Saute the onions and then add the rest of the filling mixture.

The Sauce: Tomato sauce, roasted red peppers, diced chilies, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and oregano.  For the tomato sauce I use a (14.5 oz.) can of diced tomatoes with garlic and onion in the can and blend them in a food processor or blender.  In a separate pan mix all the sauce ingredients and let simmer for about 5 to 10 min.  However thick you like your sauce.

Assembly: dip the tortilla in the sauce, both sides.  Fill the tortillas with the chicken filling, wrap the tortillas and place in a 9×13 pan seam side down.  You will end up with 8 enchiladas.  Pour the remainder of the red sauce on the top of the enchiladas.  After baking top with cheese, Enjoy!
